Lyrics

[Verse 1]

And now the purple dusk of twilight time

Steals across the meadows of my heart

High up in the sky, the little stars climb

Always reminding me that we're apart

[Verse 2]

You wandered down the lane and far away

Leaving me a song that will not die

Love is now the stardust of yesterday

The music of the years gone by

[Bridge]

Sometimes I wonder

Why I spend the lonely night

Dreaming of a song

The melody haunts my reverie

And I am once again with you

When our love was new

And each kiss an inspiration

But that was long ago

Now my consolation

Is in the stardust of a song

[Bridge]

Beside a garden wall

When stars are bright

You are in my arms

The nightingale tells his fairytale

Of paradise where roses grew

Though I dream in vain

In my heart it will remain

My stardust melody

The memory of love's refrain
